Water and Sugar: Carlo Di Palma, the Colours of Life DVD

A galaxy of cinema luminaries — from Ken Loach and Ettore
Scola to Wim Wenders and Bernardo Bertolucci — pay tribute to the great Italian
cinematographer Carlo di Palma, in this loving documentary that chronicles di
Palma’s extraordinary work for such directors as Elio Petri, Michelangelo
Antonioni, and Woody Allen.

Directors and actors receive all the attention, but one of
the key collaborators when making a film is the person behind the camera: the director
of photography, or cinematographer.

Over the history of cinema there have been some
extraordinary cinematographers. Pre-eminent amongst these names is that of Carlo
Di Palma.

But, as this finely crafted tribute to Di Palma shows, his
life and career ran even deeper than the extraordinary contributions he made to
cinema.
